The arrowhead of Britain’s opposition and Member of Parliament (MP), Ed Miliband, has urged a former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, not to relent in his quest for the enthronement of good governance in Nigeria.
Miliband, who spoke at the launch of Diversity Group of the British Labour Party in London, United Kingdom, said that Kalu has a track record in the fight for the institutionalisation of good governance, urging him not to relent.
Miliband described Kalu, who was a speaker at the launch of the Diversity Group, as a tested and trusted politician and leader.
He said: “The civilized countries have known you long before now and that is why you were given this golden opportunity to speak at this dinner.”
The dinner, held at Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel, Central London, was attended by Members of UK Parliament (House of Lords and House of Commons), top UK government officials, shadow ministers, professionals, Nigerian-British citizens and corporate bodies.
Among those in attendance were Keith Vaz, MP, Chairman House Affairs Select Committee; Lain McNicol, Secretary General of Labour Party, UK; Dr. Joe Ukemenem, Chairman, Nigeria for Labour; Turkish main opposition leader; Mr. and Mrs. Tunde Adebayo, Joseph Oladosu and representatives of Mitchell and Integer Group, UK.
